“Last train outta Neverland, ladies and gentlemen… all aboard.” ⸻ Spent too long in your little Neverland Tiptoein’ careful just to shake your hand Bit my tongue while the whole room stared Every new idea got stripped and compared You called it wisdom, I called it fear Same old records spinnin’ year after year I kept growin’ while you dug your heels Funny how the truth makes fragile people squeal ⸻ Every time I spread my wings, you clipped another feather Talked about “the good old days” like they were gonna last forever But the world keeps turnin’, whether you like it or not And I got tired waitin’ in the same old parking lot ⸻ Yeah, I’m better off without your chains on me Better off bein’ everything you’d never let me be Found some people out there who don’t fear the great unknown Turns out the world got bigger when I stopped callin’ Neverland home And I ain’t lookin’ backward, no, that door’s already shut You can stay frozen in the past if that’s the life you want I kept movin’ forward while you stood there scared and lost Funny how leavin’ you behind made me better off ⸻ Now I hear you talkin’ like the whole world’s gone insane Boardin’ up the windows just to keep out what has changed Buildin’ little hermit walls, pretendin’ time stood still Throwin’ stones at things you never really tried to understand or will I stopped askin’ permission, stopped apologizin’ too Turns out growth gets mighty dangerous to a point of view And every road I almost missed keeps gettin’ clearer in my mind ‘Cause if I stayed there in Neverland, I’d have been left behind ⸻ Maybe someday you’ll wake up and see the world moved on Maybe someday all that anger finally comes undone But I won’t be standin’ where you left me years ago I kept learnin’, kept on buildin’, kept on stealin’ every show And if you finally cross that bridge, I hope it treats you well But I burned the map to Neverland the day your kingdom fell ‘Cause you can’t chain down a restless soul and call it loyalty The moment that I grew up, you stopped havin’ room for me ⸻ Yeah, I’m better off without your chains on me Better off bein’ everything you swore I’d never be Found some people out there who don’t fear the great unknown Turns out the world got bigger when I stopped callin’ Neverland home Now the band keeps playin’ while your old clock gathers dust You kept waitin’ for the past while I learned who I could trust And maybe you’ll come around, but I won’t still be where I was Funny how walkin’ outta Neverland made me better off
